Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I have been a LPC-MHSP in TN for over 2 years, and have a long history of mental health training and experience prior to that. I have lived all over - Guam, NE, CO, IL - and bring my love for learning and connecting with people to each aspect of my life. With curiosity and empathy I have been able to grow my professional experiences to include practicing in community mental health settings, inpatient hospitals, collaborative care environments, and now in private practice. I enjoy the freedom and autonomy in which private practice offers, as it allows me to meet each client where they are and adjust our treatment goals as needed.
